“The Hunger Games” According To Lana Del Rey

The film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’s young adult series The Hunger Games comes out in March, which means we’re already chin-deep in poster analysis, soundtrack buzz and planning our midnight viewing parties. A sillier way to prepare to see Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, of course, would be to pair her story with pop culture’s other topic of choice: Lana Del Rey. Two of the most searched entities together in one precious clip? Might as well be Internet cat nip. Behold, The Hunger Games reworking of Del Rey’s “Video Games,” which informs even the most casual fan that yes, pita is a pouch of bread, but Peeta is also her man’s name. Hunger Games superfans: Wouldn’t “Born To Die” be better for this? Oh, you haven’t finished Book Three yet? Eh, watch it anyway.
